Speaking of Prince Maurice of
Montleart, who died recently at
Vienna, eighty years old, and left
his fortune of some $15,OOO,OOO to
the Queen of Italy, Life" (London)
remarks that it was an entirely un-
expected gift to her. The prince
was always an eccentric parsonage.
The last thirty or forty years of his
solitary life were spent at his splen-
did seat near Vienna, and he had
a mausoleum built in his park for
his last resting-place. The Wen
nese police, however, have inter
fered in the matter, and, not allow
ing his park to be made into GEM
ctery, have directed that his body
should be buried in the vaults OF
the chapel in the castle. The
Prince of Montleart leaves no
children. His only sister, who also
has an immense fortune, was muir
dered two years ago in her cas-
tie near Cracow, and up to the
present moment the Austrian po'
lice have not succeeded in finding
the murderer. Her daughter mar
ried the Marquis Gonzaga-Wielo
poski, son of the celebrated states
man known for his endeavors te
reconcile Poland and Russia.

New York World.

There are great many queer
ways, criminal and otherwise, by
which men earn a living, but per-
haps there is none more peculiar
than that adopted by the alleged
DIR. Grant of Boston. His profess
sion is that of marrying unsuspect-
ing females. His motives are purely
pecuniary, and if he can secure the
money he is after in the course of
his engagements to be married he
will spare his victims the ceremony
itself. This is quite consolation
to them when they understand tho
situation, and shows him to be q
man of some feeling.
In the course of business during
the last two years the doctor has
found it necessary to marry five
women. Numerous others he has
simply caused to arrive at state
of preparation for the altar before
realizing on his speculation. New
York and Brooklyn have been in
cluded in his field of operations,
and he has done a fairly good busi-
ness in the minor summer resorts.
AS he was not embarrassed by any
reference to the personal appear
ance of those with whom he dealt,
he found, in many cases, no COM
petition. He fell, as many a shrewd
man has fallen, from having too
many irons in the fire.
But the doctors record drops far
behind that of a Mr.. Morton, of
New Haven, who some years ago
was bankrupted in the same busi-
ness. Mr.. Morton had a real wife
whom, as well as his children, he
thought much of. He supported
these dear ones, and brought them
home many valuable presents be-
sides, by Systematically engaging
himself to and, where necessary,
marrying such women as he deemed
financially productive. Pending
the proceedings which sent him to
the Virginia state prison it was as
certained that he had at least thir-
teen wives, with n large number Of
counties to hear from. There is a
suggestion contained here as to the
advisability of women requiring
satisfactory references when con-
templating marriage on short ac-
quaintance. And perhaps there is
also food for reflection, in the
premises, on the ease with which
the average woman is captured.

Col. Bureau, who has only re-
Gently retired from the post of pro-
fessor of tactics at Saint-Cyr, has
just published a remarkable ac-
count of the frontiers of France
from the military point of view.
The work completely fultills It's
title; but whatever interest we may
have in the condition of the French
frontier toward Spain and Italy is
quite eclipsed by that which we
feel in the strategical position on
the borders of Alsace-Lorraine and
of Belgium. Even the detenses OF
Paris. to which the author devotes
two most instructive chapters, are
of secondary Importance compared
with the outer lines Of fortresses,
the creation of which is supposed
to have supplied France with an
equivalent for Strasburg and Metz
and the passes of the Vosges, and
it is to this part of the volume that
our attention must be confined at
present. 1t will help the reader to
Judge of the work if we state at
once the most striking conclusions
of the writer. The first and most
significant conclusion is that, con-
trary to the general idea, France is
stronger OH the north-that is, to-
ward Belgium-than on the north.
east-that is, toward Germany, and
Col. Bureau shows the courage ol
his convictions in drawing from
this fact the deduction that there
is a greater probability of France
violating the neutrality of Belgium
than of Germany doing so. The
second plot is hardly less in oppo
sition to prevalent opinion. 1t ii
often said that when the great strug
gle comes, the first campaign VII
be of a defensive character for tht
, most part. Col. Bureau believes
that it will be eminently a cam
paign of attacks; that Germany
, efforts to break the French linz
will he made in enormous force
and, if successful, rapidly fol!owct
up; while the first German check
will entail q French offensive
, through Belgium or Luxumburg o.

less positive and more professional.
He quotes and evidently inclines
to the opinion expressed by Ger
man experts, that the immensely
increased power of rifle fire tends
to make the strongest Notifications
untenable if the assailant employs
sufficient masses of infantry armed
with repeating rifles and risks
heavy loss to achieve its end. Col.
Bureau anticipates that a German
attack in this manner on Toul, and
possibly Verdun, will form the first
episode of the war. The interest of
this military treatise may be meas
ured by these conclusions; but
Col. Bureau treats every branch OF
his subject with completeness and
scientific impartiality.

It is said that when Alexander
Mitchell was q banker in Milwau-
kee there was a run on his bank.
On the second day of the run an
old Scotchman entered the bank,
covered with mud, and carrying a
pair of saddle-bags. He could not
not gain access to Mr.. Mitchell on
account of the crowd, but he shouted
out to him, holding up the saddle
bags: "Aleck, mon, l heard ye
hod a room on yer bank, and ]
bring ye all / have, mon-$2OOO in
gold" The crowd contemplated
the old Scotchman for . moment
and then began, to drop out of the
line, and in less than an hour the
run had ceased.

"A woman who bought an Old
fashioned bureau at secondhand
store i'm Cincinnati discovered Sc
cret drawer in it which contained
81 300 in gold and old bank bills.
Money was so scarce in certain
counties of Southwestern Texas.
during the earlier part of the win
ter, that in some instances the
skins of javelina were used as a
circulating medium, and 'possum
skins were frequently offered in IL
quidation of grocery bills.
Squire Royal, the Tax Collector
of Taylor county, Pa, took out a
well-worn overcoat to sell to an
old-clothes man a few days ago
and found $3.50 in bills rolled up
in sheet Of note paper. The
Squire is confident that the money
is his own, but he has no recollec-
ton of having placed it in the
pocket.
A Chicago gambler who had been
playing in hard luck borrowed a
counterfeit silver dollar from a
friend and made straight for the
nearest faro bank. He met with
phenomenal success, and on quit
ting the game was 1921 ahead. AS
he was leaving the place he bOasted
of his trick, and was at once ignO-
miniously kicked into the street.
John Monroe, young man liv-
ing with his widowed sister in the
northern part of Georgia, was dig
ging hole for a potato-bin in his
cellar the other day, when his spade
broke open an earthen pot contain
ing 81 ,4SO in gold. The coin had
been buried by his sisters husband
during the war and subsequently
forgotten.
A young farmer in Des Moines
county, Iowa. who had saved up
5000 in bank bills, wrapped a piece
of paper around them and stuck
the roll up the chimney in his bed
room for safe-keeping. One cold
afternoon his mother put a stove
in the room and built a rOusing
fire in it, and when the young man
returned to supper only the charred
remnants of the notes could DC
found.
Some months ago a lady living
in Butler, Ga, through fear of the
depreciation of tramps, put $11O in
bank notes in a paste-board box
and buried it in the yard near the
wood-pile. Last week she went out
to get it and found that both box
and bills had been badly mutilated
by wood lice. She has sent the
notes to the banks which ISSUED
them for redemption.
The pet cat belonging to Mrs
Lucy Cain of Hannibal, Mo.
brought a mouse into the parlOl
recently, and with it small piece
of paper money. Mrs. Cain though
nothing about the occurrence unit
one day last week, when she dis
covered that a roll of bills wa
missing from her bureau drawer
Then she put two and two together
and began a vigorous search of tn
premises. The missing bills wer
: finally uncarthed in a corner Of tn
cellar, where a colony of mice ha'
made a nest of them.

The train for the west over the
New York Central road, which
leaves this city at 6 p. NJ, is one OF
the heaviest sent out of New York,
and until recently required two en-
gines to pull it. A new locomo-
tive (No. 615), especially destined
for this train, has just been turned
out of the company's shops at West
Albany. 1t is of the standard pat
tern, except that it has o 53-inch
boiler shell and cylinders 18x24
inches, while the other engines
have a 5O-inch shell and cylinders
17x24 inches. No. 615 is COM
pelled to draw a train of twelve OF
thirteen cars, nine or ten of which
are sleepers. The actual running
time to Albany is three hours and
thirty minutes, as from the three
hours and fifty minutes given on
the schedule, ten minutes have to
he deducted for a stop at Pough'
keepsie and ten minutes for stops
for water, the track tanks not DO

The Central's officers say that, ev

than any other engine in the coun
try. Except when the weather con
ditions are very unfavorable, th'

The power of money and intiu-
ence in hushing up scandal is finely
illstrated in the Kissane case in
California. No incident could be
imagined better suited to the sem
sational temper of the San Fran
cisco press, and yet since the first
publication the newspapers have
been dumb. The Sacramento Bee,
of all the papers in the state, is the
only one which is following the
matter up in a natural way. Kis-
sane, or VIM. King Rodgers, rs ~
is known in California, is allied by
marriage to Haggin, who is a friend
and partner of Hearst, the proprie-
tor Of the Examiner-hence the ST.
lence of that journal. Reuben
Lloyd, the well-known lawyer of
San Francisco, and now known to
be Kissane's brother, is the friend
and legal adviser of Mike de Young
hence the silence of the Chroni-
Gle. There is said to be some sort
of scandal in the career of Mr..
Pickering, one of the proprietOrs of
the Call and Bulletin, and this is
said to explain why these journals
have "shut up" Means have been
found to suppress the Post and
Stock Report, probably through
processes we'll known to ricn men
when dealing with small, hungry
and venal newspapers. The Alta
and the Sacramento Record-Union
were easily silenced by the railroad
crowd" with which kissane is con-
nected.
In the public library at San Fran
cisco there were certain books con-
tanning references more or less
definite to William Kissane, the
forger, murder and swindler. These
have all been stolen, and are no
longer to be found. They have
been stolen, too, from the library OF
congress. A less dishonest sup
preston was practiced on pamph-
let which was published, giving a
spirited account Of the Martha
Washington" arson and murder
Hardly was this published when
SOMEBODY bought up every copy
and bought up the plates, and the
book went out Of existence. Again
one or two recent numbers OF
the New York Herald contained
quite full and detailed accounts OF
Kissane and his criminal career
When those numbers reached San
Francisco SOMEBODY instantly flew
around and bought them clean of
every news stand. Even the news
Company was bought up. 1t re-
fused to sell the Sacramento Bee
containing the exposure, and un'
dertook to bully the news stands
into refusing, without much sue
cess. Efforts were made to buy up
and destroy the whole edition o.
the Bee, any required price being
offered. This effort failed and large
editions of the Bee have been sold
Even the associated press has beer
strangely silent.-Ex.
